As we crossed the bridge over the bay,
the first thing that caught my eye was a sign
ROCKPORT STRONG!
It was our first trip back to
this friendly little tropical town
since Hurricane Harvey came to visit in 2017
The fury of Harvey left a path of
destruction far and wide along the Texas coast
But it certainly didn't destroy the spirit
of these coastal towns
and they are coming back
STRONG!!
The downtown area of Rockport
has been rebuilt and is as charming as ever
 |
| and the beach is still an amazing place to have fun |
and the perfect beach for
my GRAND niece
to experience sand between her toes!!

The Rockport beach has always been
our family's happy place!!
and now it's Lelia B's happy place too!!
WE
and what's a trip to Rockport without
a little side trip over to another
amazing little beach town
PORT ARANSAS
Crossing over on the ferry
is an experience in itself
and much to our surprise, most of the
delightfully tacky souvenir shops
are back in business
We stopped for dinner at the
A popular place on the Island
and one of the first restaurants to
re-open after the hurricane
After a delicious Italian meal
we headed for the beach!
Surf was up and it was a great
evening for a little beach cruisin'
The Texas Coast has made
an incredible comeback
that makes me as happy
as sand between my toes
